Shimla:   Rescue efforts are ongoing in Himachal Pradesh following devastating cloudbursts and flash floods that have claimed eight lives and left 45 individuals missing across the districts of Kullu, Mandi, and Shimla. The floods, which began after cloudbursts struck the region on Wednesday night, have resulted in substantial damage over the past 36 hours.

The deluge has obliterated 103 houses, six motorable bridges, and 32 footbridges. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Education Minister Rohit Thakur visited Samej, a severely affected area on the Shimla-Kullu border, to evaluate the situation and support the victims. Sukhu announced immediate relief of ₹50,000 for affected families and additional support for rent and essentials for the next three months.

Floods floods everywhere…. Whom do we blamed? Or take the responsibility?

Shall we blame nature for giving too much rain at a time?

Shall we bear responsibility for deforestation?

Shall we blame govt. for poor drainage system?

Shall we blame general public on obstructing waterways and narrowing river?

One of the most destructive disaster (nature/made-man)
